Senator Jones on the Tariff.

A Washington despatch says that
Senator Jones of Nevada is of the
opinion that there will be an extra
session Of Congress. He says he
has no information upon which to
base this belief, except his personal
conviction that the President will not
be insensible to the party benefits that

duties" said the Senator, "but there is
a demand on the part Of the majority
of Democrats to be relieved from what
the call war taxes i regard the
tariff as a sort Of license producer.
Foreign countries pay for the privilege
of selling their wares in this country.
They bear none Of the burdens Of our
Government, owe it no allegiance, are
not required to assist in It's defense in
time Of peril, and, dwelling in their
squalid homes abroad, pay so much
duty for the privilege of selling the pro-
duce Of their cheap labor to the people
Of the United States. Mr. Morrison
thinks they pay too much. l, for one
of the Republican party, do not think
they pay enough. The vast majority
Of Democrats agree with Morrison and
Carlisle. President Cleveland has di-
rectcd the attention OF Congress to the
necessity of reduction of the surplus,

to his requests. If he wishes to con

erHE ARMY"

New commissions were issued to the
several officers of the late volunteer
military companies the fore part Of this
week. In form they are said to follow
that of the British army. From cur
rent reports, however, it is difficult to
see why they are needed. All the ma
tive volunteer companies including
the Kings Own, Queens Own, Princes
Own and Mamalahao Guards-dis.
banded long ago; and, if we are cor
rectlY informed, the most strenuous
efforts have failed to re-organize any
but the Kings Own, and this corps is
reported to have not a quarter of the
number of men previously enrolled.
The truth is that the Army and Navy
Act of 1886 was stupidity and bung-
lingly framed. There is "catch" in it
which the volunteers do not like, and
little wonder, for enlistment at the
present time would, by the terms of
the Act fasten them to five years
service, This is just what they do not
wish to submit to: hence their refusal to
enroll themselves again in the volunteer
forces

Base Ball League.

There were present at the base ball
meeting in Rutland Thursday Messrs.
Hunt and Sault of the St. Adams club,
Goodfellow of Fort Edward, Robinson of
Glens Falls and several members of the
Rutland association. The plan proposed
by members from st. Adams and Rutland
was to form league of the four places
named and Burlington, and. arrange a
schedule on the general basis of two home
games and two games in other towns for
each club each week, each game to be
played under guarantee of $50 for the
visiting club Both the Fort Edward and
Glens Falls clubs objected to that PROPOSE
ton, however, with the St Adams club in
the league, on the ground that the distance
between St. Adams and the New York
towns mentioned is 50 great that the clubs
from the latter places would lose money
at each game on account of the heavy
travelling expenses and loss of time, 1t
is probable, however, that the league will
be formed without Fort Edward and that
club will have an opportunity to play with
the league clubs at intervals during the
season.

Cooling of Winooski, aged about 10 years,

ing and nothing has been seen or heard
of him since. He was seen to turn the
corner at East avenue and that is the last
that is known of his whereabouts He has
a peculiar scar on the right side of his
face by which he can be readily Identified.
He is bright boy, a good
student and had no good reason
for leaving home, but as he has been com
planning of trouble in his head it is thought
that he has wandered off in a fit of tenn
porary insanity. Mr.. Gooding returned
from the seat of conference Sunday
morning and has been searching for him,
as have also the officers, but at last ac-
counts last evening no clew had been OBJ

Rev. j. G. Gooding of Winooski who has
been missing from home since Friday
noon, was last seen going over the hill
toward Burlington between and 2oclock
on Friday afternoon, and IT Is believed
that he has been Il aced to the vicinity OF
Hinesburg, where his trail was lost.
Others report having seen boy answer

on Saturday. He wore close hitting Nor,
folk jacket, pleats in front and back and
a belt the material was dark mixed
Cheviot; trousers of little lighter color
than the coat and somewhat worn, soft
round hat. He was tall for his age but
not heavily built, of dark complexion with
dark hair and blue eyes. He could be
easily recognized by a peculiar scar on the
right side of his face, caused by a burn
affecting his mouth, also by a slight i'm
pediment in his speech. Any information
concerning him should be promptly for

Lake Champlain AS a Summer Resort.

To the Editor of the Free Press.
noticed in the weekly FREE PRESS
some time past the sale of Providence
island fol $4,000, A party from here have
spent few seasons past, a short distance
west of Essex, and have seen some of
the beauties of the eastern shore of Lake
Champlain which are well adapted to
pleasure seekers, as the ready access to
the lake affords the greatest enjoyment to
campers.
Thompsons Point and Birch Island, we
think, belong to the town of Charlotte.
The island is desirable location
for party that prefer seclusion.
1t is large enough to admit of hotel. 1t
has the best harbor on the lake where Il
dock could be built for the landing of
steam boats, it being but little off the
line of the boats that pass through the
lake. We know of no reason why the
beauties of Lake Champlain cannot be
come as notorious rs the Adirondacks.
Yet natural beauties need to be seen to be
fully appreciated. We think if the town
of Charlotte would be willing to sell either
or both of these places, to advertise them
in some local paper would be the means
of finding II purchaser.
